Corporate Values Strategy Group

From 2003-2015, the Aspen Corporate Values Strategy Group (CVSG) focused on ensuring that corporate and investment practice better supported the long-term health of society.

History:

Short-term pressures in capital markets restrict the ability of business to do what it does best—create quality goods and services, invest in innovation, and develop human capital. Rebalancing the short-term/long-term focus of business will make it possible to bring a wider view to the role of business, one that encompasses both fiscal and societal well-being.

Program strategies included:

Convenings and dialogues. Bringing together senior business leaders, investors, corporate governance experts, labor leaders, and academics to discuss strategies for promoting change in business practice, investment practice and policy in support of long-term value creation that benefits both shareholders and society.
